Sending Work Out

 My last post was in September? 


If there is something about this semester--that I would like to change--is to send more work out next year.


The Minotaur Cries Out to the King, When Ariadne No Longer Weeps, The Minotaur’s Letter to Ariadne, and Noncompliance

Narcissism

It is tough to say how

This video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHeM0jJiB3U

https://narcissistabusesupport.com/how-to-identify-narcissistic-siblings-narcissistic-brother-sister/


try to outdo or outplay
makes all the decisions, then expects thanks
does not believe in collaboration

scapegoat
my only survival is distancing myself

defend, reflect, rationalize

a parent should be able to hear
hear me out
work with me on how to build a relationship
don't try to force something uncomfortable


devaluation
lack of empathy
she said she would always love me and the boys, purposely leaving Carrie out

she acts fragile
like she wants to plan everything

Jav told me
I am wondering if that is why Tom is also distant
only hear and see when holudays--even when living in town

I am treated with contempt

she has no empathy towards me

last lecture

 I want to give mine not out of egotism or feeling like I really have something to say that is more important than anyone else. This is my htanks to so many people who helped me to rise to happibness joy and hard work. I am a trickster imposter, which means my teaching stratgies might not be found on a rubric if someone were to come into my classroom and witness how I teach. A lot is in the outofclass, a lot is in the wording I give to students on the page or in person. Sure, I do my best to change up the best practices, as I think any professor should always selfevaluate and experiement as the class coming in has different needs and values than the previous classes. But that is what this last lecture is about. People leave legaxies--everyone does--and passing them on helps others to build and grow so we are in a better place. Witnessing Black Lives Matter, forced polarization, and so forth, there is always more work to be done.

Hold students hands

Yes I'm going to hold my students hands because I know that their worries and anxieties come from being told they aren't good writers. They're worries and anxieties come from outside sources that have wrecked their self esteem. For children it is getting to look and teach them attachment. If children are teach taught these things then it's about teaching them self esteem. I am going to hold all of my students hands without them realizing it. It's really up to them to to extend their hand. But mine will be there without worry.

Last Lecture

After 6 years of being at Washburn oh, I knew that I had to be brave if I were going to get my degree. What I mean is I thought I could navigate the classes to get a degree without having to declare one. Ben Washburn announced that they had changed their computer systems degree where some of the classes I took we're no longer part of that degree and couldn't serve as credit to my degree as they were computer courses. So I went in and I asked for Rick Barker to be my advisor because I really liked him in the classes I took. He was energetic and down-to-earth. And I was so worried meeting him in his office to talk about where I was on my way to a degree. I said to him I know I have a lot of fails in my courses and I'm sorry about that. He said don't worry about that. Let's just look to see where you are and what we need to do to get you to where you need to be. It was such a relief to actually hear from a professor that he wasn't going to judge me based on my lack of performance in courses. He was there to help me get back on track and he said it. He clearly stated it. Words are so important to me even now as a poet and a teacher of English, but Rick Barker showed me just how a simple phrase or way of saying something to show someone that you're not judging them but you want to see where they can be is a very human act. It's an act of compassion of non-judgmental Awesome. Being.

Experimental Poetry


Friends, I'm looking for the most innovative books of poems from recent memory. I'm thinking not only about innovation on the level of the poems, but also about how the book is conceived as a book, as a poem itself, or especially as a work of art/investigation. I'm thinking of works like Mark Nowak's Coal Mountain Elementary, M. NourbeSe Philip's Zong, Anne Carson's Nox, Tyehimba Jess's Olio, CA Conrad's (Soma)tics, Marwa Helal's Invasive species, Elizabeth Bradfield's Toward Antarctica, Jeffrey Pethybridge's Striven, the Bright Treatise, Jos Charles's feeld. Any recommendations, including self-recommendations, shy poets), are welcome. What books are reinventing the poetry book as a form?

any recent book by Mary Ruefle.

Allison Adair
Allison Adair Caroline Bergvall's 'Drift'. Links to text & performance forms here. Text: https://nightboat.org/book/drift/ -- Performance: http://carolinebergvall.com/work/drift-performance/. Vivek Narayanan also has a ton of cool hybrid/cross-over/experimental work. Tough to link to it since much involves technology. But worth the investigation!

Mark Cueball
Mark Cueball Can I send you a copy of “Seymour’s Poems,” in which I took the true story of how my father was recruited into the U.S. Army Chemical Corp. in the 1950s, merged it with a fictional story that centers on what may have happened “off screen” in J.D. Salinger’s short story “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” concluding with Seymour’s lost poems?
